    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this chance to add some voice to this important Motion. Before I proceed, I would like to thank my newly elected Chairperson and thank him for bringing this Motion which is very important. The education staff is present at the county level. We normally see the county education officer in charge of adult education, but their presence is not felt. This is due to lack of clear policy guidelines on recruitment, staffing, punishment and motivation. As you are aware, majority of the people in the pastoralist community are illiterate. You know the important roles played by parents as a stakeholder in education. You can imagine when a parent is not educated and the children bring a report from school; the parent may not know what is happening. I would also like to highlight the important roles played by adult education in terms of improvement of enterprise because if a person is not educated, you may not expect him or her to know what is happening in the country in terms of technology that Sen. Kagwe was talking about. There are people who cannot have access to social communication media like skype or tango to be able to communicate with their children abroad. This means that they are technologically behind. I would like to urge that this function be devolved because the needs of counties are diverse. For example, in the marginalized areas, the level of illiteracy is different from maybe central province. The illiteracy level in north eastern is 80 per cent while in central province, it is 60 per cent. So, this function should be devolved to put us on the same level.
